Paisley’s quilt

This sweet little quilt is for a cousin’s new baby girl named Paisley.

And yes, I had to include a paisley fabric in the design.  It was unavoidable. =)

The quilt is based on a traditional honey bee block, which is the large square surrounded by the pink petals on each corner.  I’ve seen [...]

Baby boy quilt

Friends of ours are having their first baby very soon.  Josh & I were invited to a couples baby shower celebrating the little guy and this is what I made:

If you think the owl fabric looks familiar, I used another color way of the same print earlier this year in the quilt [...]

Kristy’s quilt

I made a comfort quilt for a friend who is going through breast cancer treatments right now.  Kristy and her family have been very special to us; we’ve gotten to know them over the years from going to the same church.

I went with a modern look: large scale prints against white.  It’s a [...]

A quilt for Levi

“Cousin Sarah” as she’s known on this blog had a baby.  A while ago.  Her second little boy is named Levi and he’s as precious as could be.  Not that I’ve ever met him in real life… but I feel like you get to know kids by looking at their photos and videos on Facebook.  [...]

Isabela’s quilt

I made a quilt for my friend Amanda’s baby girl, Isabela.  Amanda took our family pictures – oh yes! now that I’m blogging again, I’ll have to share them with you – and it wasn’t an easy job.  She did a wonderful job!  It’s just that our kids didn’t make it easy for her.  It [...]

Comfort quilts

Quilters love to give quilts to those who are going through a hard time: loss of a loved one, illness, disease, treatments.  We call them comfort quilts because we hope that having the physical comfort of a quilt will in some small way ease pain.  Of course, we also hope that the individual (or family) [...]

Jett’s quilt

Jett’s quilt is now finished!  I had the best of intentions of finishing this about 4 years ago.  I made a nearly identical quilt for Jude in blue/white/black fabrics when he turned two years old.  I wanted to have Jett’s quilt done when he turned two, that gave me a whole year to get [...]

Drake’s quilt

I’m “behind” on getting quilts made for all of my friends and relatives who have had babies recently.  I once was really good at having them ready by the time the kids were born (can you imagine?!).  Now, I’m making a serious effort to get quilts to babies in their first year of life with [...]

Sam’s quilt

The first nephew on my side of the family was born in mid-April.  His name is Samuel Herman and – of course – he is as sweet as can be!  We are really enjoying getting to know him and seeing how he’s changing in his first few months of life.

Here’s Sam and me.

Frank’s quilt

I have been quilting a lot lately.  This is actually one of SIX new quilts that I have to share with you!

This quilt is for baby Franklin who was born in November of last year.  He is the first-born of friends Marc & Angela.  Frank is an absolutely ADORABLE baby, and if that wasn’t [...]
